Crate pico_de_gallo_hal 

embedded-hal and embedded-hal-async implementations backed by a Pico de Gallo USB bridge.

This crate lets you run embedded Rust drivers on a host machine by forwarding I2C, SPI, GPIO, PWM, ADC, 1-Wire, and delay operations to a Pico de Gallo device over USB.

Quick Start

use pico_de_gallo_hal::Hal;
use embedded_hal::i2c::I2c;

let hal = Hal::new();
let mut i2c = hal.i2c();

// Read 2 bytes from a TMP102 temperature sensor
let mut buf = [0u8; 2];
i2c.write_read(0x48, &[0x00], &mut buf).unwrap();

Blocking vs. Async

Both embedded-hal (blocking) and embedded-hal-async traits are implemented. The HAL automatically detects whether it is running inside a tokio runtime and adjusts its execution strategy:

• Inside tokio: Uses tokio::task::block_in_place to avoid blocking the async executor while waiting for USB responses.
• Outside tokio: Blocks directly on the tokio handle.

This means the same Hal instance works in both synchronous test code and async application code.
